'Sandlot' actor arrested for scuffle with cop at Houston airport

HOUSTON (WABC) -- Actor Thomas Guiry, better known as Smalls from the cult classic movie The Sandlot, was arrested in Houston last weekend for allegedly headbutting a police officer.

The incident happened at a Houston airport.

According to police, United Airlines employees reported an unruly passenger whom they said was too drunk to board the plane.

The responding officer confronted Guiry and said he could avoid going to jail if he agreed to go to a sobering center.

Police say the actor refused and then resisted arrest.

While he was being restrained, police say Guiry headbutted the officer in the face.

The 32-year-old actor now faces a felony charge for assaulting a public servant.
